Evaluation of the BBB scores among Control, Sham, Model(SCI), Vehicle(SCI + DMEM), SCI + ADSCs, and SCI + MT-ADSCs groups. After the cell transplant, during the week1 significant differences were observed between the Control and other groups(P < 0.001); Within the week4, SCI + MT-ADSC and SCI + ADSC groups had higher scores than SCI and vehicle groups(P < 0.001); During weeks 5–8, significant differences were found between the SCI + MT-ADSC and SCI + ADSC groups and the SCI group(P < 0.001). The SCI + ADSC and SCI + MT-ADSC groups had no significant differences during the experimental period. ••• indicates P < 0.001 vs. the Sham group, ### indicates P < 0.001 vs. the SCI, Vehicle, SCI + ADSC, and SCI + MT-ADSC groups, * indicates P < 0.05 vs. the SCI group, *** indicates P < 0.001 vs. the SCI group
